Good to know! Not surprised that @cruiseroutfit provides the level of service that your business counts on them!
Today I did the best thing I could do with my pig. I drove it over to Mark's OffRoad and had him inspect it. Not all the news was good, but I have such a better understanding of the truck overall.
Based on his inspection and advice, I'll have a list of repairs and upgrades that I'm going to tackle over the next few months. I'm going to start a "build" thread to chart progress once I get it all together.
thanks again @65swb45

Nice to meet you and your rig Mark. I have finished your inspection report and will call you later to discuss a couple of options for a game plan.
Ordered one today thanks guys for all the help...once again best forum there is....
Just getting broke in. That's a lot of smiles.

That is awesome!
Got tired of pulling out a R pin to release my swing out tyre carrier so welded on a spring loaded latch. Had a HJ61 transfer knob floating about so welded on what I think was a M12 X1.25 bolt thread to the release pin....
Also took it for a 260klm long round trip. Biggest trip since swapping in the 12ht late last year.
Ran like an absolute clock!
thats sooooooo sexy!
Wasn't happy with the 55 mirrors so adapted some early 40/45 oem mirrors I'd been holding onto for years...
Charles helped adjust the mirror angles.
Close up of what I did to get around drilling extra mounting holes...just flipped one of the brackets and packed it with a few washers to suit. Should be stout enough, main thing is they fold in when a tree hits them.
Thumbs up from Charles again...

I put an fj62 speedometer into an fj55 speedometer housing....
Have you ever needed a 110 mph clock, or fancied a trip odometer?
Ez mod thread to follow...

interesting. OEM or aftermarket? what years had mounting bases like that? Bolts to the factory side mirror location?
They're OEM. On 40s/45s they bolt to the windscreen hinge or just below it I believe. Mounts vertically too, not how I've done it..
NIB air cleaner and filter I got for 15 bucks at the swap meet.
